So when the owner of the properties failed to clear all litter and refuse from the area at 56-68 Patchwork Row, Bolsover District Council, who had issued the notice, took them to court.

The company did not attend or contact the court and on November 16, after hearing the evidence, magistrates found the company guilty of failing to comply with a Community Protection Notice and find them £1,000. The company must also pay £700 in costs and £155 compensation.

Councillor Brian Murray-Carr, portfolio holder for Community Safety and Street Services at Bolsover District Council said, “The council spends thousands of pounds each year keeping the environment clean and we are using new anti social behaviour powers to ensure landowners take responsibility for their own land.”
